If Chopper does have allergies, antihistamines may provide some relief. He should first be examined by your veterinarian though, to rule out injury or infection. Your vet can recommend an OTC antihistamine or may dispense one for Chopper after the exam. For now, if he is pawing or rubbing his eyes, place an e-collar (cone) on him until he sees the vet.
